The Fillmore

The Fillmore sits at 1805 Geary Boulevard and offers a main hall on the second floor with space for 1,315 visitors. The stage stands at the end of a large open room that includes a mezzanine overlooking the standing floor below.

The building opened in 1912 under the name Majestic Hall and later served as the Ambassador Dance Hall. Charles Sullivan purchased it in 1954 and reopened it under the name Fillmore Auditorium.

The venue became a leading performance space for jazz, blues and soul on the west coast, drawing artists like Otis Redding and Ike & Tina Turner. The walls now display photographs of renowned musicians who have performed here since the 1950s.

Entry requires mobile tickets, and bags may measure up to 12 x 6 x 12 inches (30 x 15 x 30 cm). Bus lines 38 Geary and 22 Fillmore stop near the entrance.

Each visitor receives a concert poster as a keepsake when leaving. Fresh apples sit at the entrance throughout each performance.
